Quasi you are a star man, respect. Bling sent

Wa wHooo! New gloves for Daddy!

Thanks Quasi!
The hand feels like it's healing well. Suprizingly little pain for the major job they did on it. Next Monday the cast is cut off to inspect the wound, and I'll see just what they did.

QUASiMOTO - Worn by champions - - and now by Me.

Great news to hear Quasi, awesome thing you're doing helping out needy bikers back into some quality gear for safer riding. Bling, bling and bling!

[McJim]

Glad to hear young Xerxesdaphat is getting some gloves. All we need to do is get him some troosers and an electronic ignition and we'll be laughing!

Im thinking all his problems/prayers will be answered tomorrow when he opens his parcel!!

[xwhatsit]

I... um... dont' know quite what to say. The people on this forum are simply the most generous wonderful people I've met anywhere. I've already told Mr Quasievil that I'm going to get some stickers of his logo printed up and will stick them around uni. Will also try and convince all the natty mod-style scooter chaps to ditch the Ralph Lauren in favour of Quasimoto ^_^.

After first of all wondering who would be mad enough to give away expensive gear like that for free from a business (witness my boss who is reluctant to supply tea and coffee to his employees, lest he lose a couple of dollars), I now am beginning to understand both the obvious generous moral reasons (bikers don't like other bikers in hospital); but also I'd say he now has a firm and long-term customer, at least when I graduate and start commanding six-figure salaries! Hahaha.

You, sir, are one of kings among men -- along with Mr GIJoe.

Thank-you,

P.S. bike doesn't need no electric starter! Pffft. Electrics are for the weak :P. What it needs is my uncle on the weekend to tune it in so it stops eating sparkplugs. Whenever I give it a new sparkplug it starts first kick... for a day lol. Heheh. Who ever wanted an easy ride? Besides, all the bump starting is better than a gym membership for my puny body...

[yungatart]

Gee, thanks Quasi, thats brilliant! But I am a she.... lucky that gloves are unisex, eh?

[mstriumph]

i don't need the gloves, thank you

... but i think it's GREAT that you have some and are willing to donate them to worthy causes

well done that man!

Hi,

I think this is self-explanatory ^_^. Did it today on the 250 ride... fun!

Plus, I'm a student hahaha.

-Tom

Quasi, I was going to nominate this guy, too. Had every fucker and his dog telling him to get some gloves at lunch on the 250 ride. What happenned straight after lunch? Lowside through a barbed wire fence.

New biker. Poor student. WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?

Edit: Read the whole fucking thread before posting, you idiot.

[xwhatsit]

Hey. I play trumpet. I only need three fingers, so why would I need gloves?

Lol

Such a benevolent soul that Quasi - and obviously a keen businessperson too. You're turning into a serial philanthropist. Keep up the good work~!

[MyGSXF:Me]

Oh yea - he's a great guy (as if any of didn't know that) and way better than being a cereal philanthropist

Yeah... so um I PMed Quasi about the gloves, gave address, sizes etc etc. I also mentioned that he was a very generous guy to give out gloves like that and so on; I also mentioned that as a result of his generosity I'd look at his store first when I went to buy the waterproof jacket and trousers I need for commuting to the CBD and back to Manukau every day.

So I get a PM back from Quasi... `what size jacket are you?'. I replied with my size, not thinking anything of it.

I get another PM back saying `what size pants are you?'. I reply with that too... but I'm starting to get more than a little worried, so I ask him why does he want to know that?

He says something to the effect of `never mind', and I tell him don't be silly, are you doing what I'm think you're doing? Because I don't deserve this...

I get a knock on the door on Thursday morning. There's a courier with a large box for me. I sign for it, put it inside my room, ignore it, go upstairs and have breakfast. When I come back down, it's still there, it wasn't a figment of my imagination. I open it up; inside is 1xCordura waterproof jacket, with shoulder/back protection; 1xCordura waterproof trousers, with knee protection; but not just those things! There is also 1xBack protector, which looks like it could stop bullets -- and also a pair of leather trousers! Leather trousers! Holy shit there's like a whole cow's worth of leather in these things... I could take them off and belt service station attendants around the head for free petrol... my god.

So I was seriously shocked, and still am. I can't believe that... I mean all this gear is probably worth about as much as my bike is... it is just so unbelievable generous to do that. It's made a huge difference... I was about to take out a personal loan to buy the gear I needed (after binning I realised how important it is) and the fact I don't have to do that now (and end up paying twice that in interest) is a massive difference for a student. I liked what Quasi said in a PM... paraphrased slightly... but he said something like `I hate it when people love bikes, but can't afford decent gear. I'm in a position to do something about that'.

The funniest thing was that there were actually no gloves in the box hahaha. But now I have the financial freedom by not planning XX% of income towards gear, I can probably buy some gloves and perhaps boots without going into too much debt. Guess which shop I'm going to get them from?

Thanks... still lost for coherence, really...

Hi Tom,
Looks like things have turned out very well for you, and while you're enjoying your new gear, I'm sure Quasi has enjoyed helping out a new and fellow biker! This is all GOOD.

I got the impression that you're a guy with a bright future and I'm sure you'll realise that all this gear will not protect you if you have the wrong type of accident. We all have a vested interest in your future, so ride right and ride safe and enjoy many years of biking! ( How's that for pressure?? )

I liked what Quasi said in a PM... paraphrased slightly... but he said something like `I hate it when people love bikes, but can't afford decent gear. I'm in a position to do something about that'.

Quasi, if I could bling you more I would! I'm sure that the pleasure that you get from being able to help someone worthy, and from getting yourself into the position where you are able to do so, are more than enough reward. Thank you.
